Wish You Were Here feat. Stéphane Grappelli

What the chuff have they done to the intro? The idea is that Gilmours' lead picking part is meant to sound like someone playing along in their bedroom and was therefore kept pretty dry to make it that more obvious.

The tale use to run that, Grapelli was fine, it was his management who wanted some huge fee for featuring his playing on the album.

WYWH holds a special place for me as, for the best part of a decade, no matter where in the world I went to a house party, when it was down to the "professionals" and everyone else had left, no matter what sort of people they were, "Wish You Were Here" was the last album played before everyone finally crashed out.
